Does anyone have a contact at Nimbus? I want to talk to them and see if they might be interested in collaborating for the publication of Ambisonia CDs ... ...
All, Len M is preferring that the stereo decode of his piece is done not in UHJ but as Blumlein stereo... (after comparing Paul's decode to his own). Which...
This is like asking what is the BEST microphone arrangement for stereo. It depends on the engineer and on a case by case basis. I would like a UHJ decode as...
All, So I've now converted maybe 50 files from ambisonic to DTS. The value range of the resultant 4 speaker feeds varies dramatically from one file to another....
... My default answer is UHJ. However in fact you need to listen and see what you think on a case by case basis. My general rule is that Ambisonically mixed or...
... that's right ... the 'ambisonics' format itself contains all the information to produce any other decode. Ideally (and eventually) all these different...
... No easy answer, especially for automation. If I wanted to automate this, and had the tools, I would go for the lowest level of the three options: Original...
... This does depend on the layout of the performers as well, I suspect. Certainly in the case of Len's recording I am getting a narrower perceived image in...
Etienne, Perhaps you should request that whoever did the recording should recommend the ideal stereo decode. The recommended stereo decode method could be...
Hi Bill, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking when the author submits the recording, they can choose UHJ, Blumlein fig-8's at 90, back to back cardioids,...
Etienne, As I said much earlier, allowing 2 channel decodes only dilutes Ambisonia. The only 2 channel decode which might make sense is binaural but only IF ...
... I'm thinking out loud here:..... I've just started putting on a slightly different hat ... the hat of 'how can Ambisonia give people a good audio...
... I have to agree with Richard's sentiments. ... I think people will often download the stereo version and not bother with the extra effort to try the...
does anyone else want to chime in on this issue? Its a difficult one because it kind of depends on whether Ambisonia is about surround sound, about ambisonics,...
... I point people to both Ambisonia, Ambisonics.net and sursound specifically because they deal with surround issues. I think there are plenty of other places...
... In addition I think we (Ambisonia and Ambisonic.net) specifically deal with Ambisonic surround-sound, though sursound is broader. As far as the first two...
... I'd like to keep this discussion going a bit because I think Ambisonia is reaching a point where it it will need a clear definition of what it is about....
All, The DTS conversion is complete, and I am still alive. Attached is a zip file that contains 120 torrents being the torrents for all the DTS files. If...
I received my Core Sound TetraMic the day before yesterday, and last night I recorded a choral concert with it. There was no opportunity to do tests or...
I know you're all fed up with my plane recordings and wasn't it great to have some music to listen to, but you should really enjoy the stuff I've got coming...
I think it's a question of spin... Ambisonia is first about Ambisonic B-Format sound files. From them, you can get mono, stereo, binaural, 5.1, whatever. My...
... yes, this is basically the angle that I'm thinking ... avoiding presenting all file downmixes as equal... B-format first and foremost ..... then DTS, then...
... Well, you could make the stereo versions 8 bit! :-O ... I'm not convinced by this, it may mean that you have a lot of lazy downloaders who just want to...
... This would be my view. In my opinion, "binaural" is already a "reduced listening experience" - but it's an important option for the iPod generation et al...
some friends of mine found ambisonia.com via a blog that I posted something on (not the ambisonia blog). I asked them what they thought, was it clear, what...
... bring it on! I reckon this is actually one of the _strongest_ points about the ambisonics community ... What other audio community has an aesthetic culture...
